1 oz. Fine Silver Coin - Pond Hockey - Mintage: 8,500 (2014)

Beautiful combination of colours and engraving details!

From the highest echelon of NHL greatness to a casual game of pickup in the street, hockey weaves the very fibre of this nation. This beautiful coin features a delightful coloured design of four boys and a family dog engaged in some lively play on a frozen pond. The wintry scene brings back memories of hockey’s early days in Canada where settlers would take to the ice for a friendly game of pickup to break the monotony of the cold. It’s a pastime that illustrates Canada’s renowned stalwart hardiness, and continues to play out to this day as children both young and old take to frozen ponds to live this idyllic scene in Canada’s rural communities.

A perfect gift for the young and old hockey fans in your family. Order yours today!

This was given by me as a gift to celebrate 50 years, his silver birthday and for his love for hockey past and present. The spirit of the game, brought back fond memories! Dust of the skates boys and get back out there! A wonderful gift for all ages. Nice coin. A collectable.

I probably would not have bought this coin for myself but someone gave it to me as a gift. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice it was. The only con is that I think it is too expensive ($100 dollars for approx. $25 in silver value). I know that it is a collector coin and should have a premium over silver value but I still think that that is a little much.

My First Colour coin and its a beauty!!! Received as a gift for the holidays and I love it. The colour pops, its a gorgeous design, the etching and contrast all wonderfully done. A great addition for hockey enthusiasts or to add to your collection. I would highly recommend this coin!
